What are Cluster Classes?
Cluster Classes are small-group sessions led by parents, staff, and teachers on three Friday afternoons in May. Students explore diverse topics through hands-on activities. Past classes include: energy science, DJ mixing, leadership skills, robotics, public speaking, podcasts, engineering, sign language, chess, origami, genetics, yoga, catapults, juggling, backpacking, crochet, running, and art. The possibilities are endless!
